    I hated school with a passion. Our faculty was a bunch of wanna be drill sergeant's, and I've always had issues with authority.

    Loving that group at 50. Excellent !

    Good stuff, man ! You are making it harder and harder to resist diving into the PCP arena. How many shots can you get out of the Marauder's before POI is effected?

    What makes it the "last word"? If I say "what good are chiggers" do I cease to say ignorant things ?

    Back when Smithville was producing hawgs a Carolina rigged jerkbait (floater) was a big secret for awhile. Some tried a 3-way swivel (wolf rig) but just a regular old 3/4oz. C-rig with a 3-4' leader always took the money.

    I find the ZP too light to throw accurately. The step up to the Spook Jr. does the job perfectly and if you think it's too big you're fooling yourself.

    I did some doughnuts over them the other evening and caught some, but it was time for them to get fired up anyway.....so I'm not sure if I learned anything. The next time I'm out and the bite just quits I'll try it again. Where I'm fishing I have to be careful or I'll smack a stump. It ain't worth a 600.00 prop 😊

    There are bass, crappie, catfish, and walleye in it. Occasionally it produces some pretty good weights, but reports of slow fishing far outnumber the good ones. It was a super fishery in it's heyday, then took a terrible downturn for some reason. I haven't been on it for almost 20 years.

    Now that was Epic!

    Well I'm convinced that a boat or PWC passing overhead causes them to gang up and go on a temporary blitz. On the shallow flats they are spread out most of the time and you have to move all over casting your arm off just picking up one/two at a time. So I'm wondering if something like that would pull them together into one general area? My true thought is that it might work the first couple times, but if you kept doing it repeatedly they would either start ignoring it or maybe even leave the area.

    Well? Worth a try, or just a good way to get a headache ?

    I didn't. And that was enough of that crap. So I'm going tomorrow 😋

    Good job, man ! Were your fish on the bottom or suspended?

    The upper lake level fluctuation throughout that period only amounted to 0.31 The daily fluctuation on average, during stable times, is seldom less than that. And water temp only fluctuated 4° during the same period. Try as you may you cannot predict or accurately explain why fish do what they do. If you depend on stable conditions then the safest place to be, year round, is in the mid-lake area (7mm to the toll bridge) where the least amount of change (temp, clairity, current, elevation) occurs.

    Definitely going

    As long as you die in the accident you don't have to worry about it. 😄

    Sure I'll give them a hat and a hoodie.
  22. fishinwrench
    If I wanted to I'd offer to be one. Guarantee within 3 episodes I could totally steal the show. 😊 I'd have love & hate groups bigger than Ike.
  23. fishinwrench
    Oh there's plenty of guys that bust their butts pimping products, Manning booths at tackle shows, and doing all sorts of stuff for free just because someone gave them a hat and a 12.00 hoodie. Anything that makes a guy feel important to the pro fishing world is like being accepted into their favorite fraternity. They won't have any trouble rounding up plenty of "official judges".

    Right. I should be able to carry only 5 rods in the boat. One with each line weight from 8# to 20#. But noooo, I have 12 rigs stuffed in the rodbox. Totally excessive and rediculous.
  25. fishinwrench
    You are probably right if you're down low, but the whites on the upper end shallow flats start having anxiety attacks when the level starts falling. You'd think that they would just move out a little bit, but that never has been the case. I have no idea if they actually crank up their tail and leave or just hang around and cease feeding, but a 5-6" drop in lake level always shuts them down.
